Dean Dickinson / Texas Toast Jam

We’ve brought on our friend and trusted industry promoter of awesomeness; Dean Dickinson, to project manage this years Texas Toast Jam.

Dean has organized countless jams and events, worked with Justin Kosman on The Hunt project in 2012, put together a book and has ridden every pool on earth (probably). Dean is just the person for this role and we are stoked to have him on board. While Dean will be handling the bulk of the planning and organizing for this years Texas Toast Jam, Taj Mihelich will still be working close at hand as Toast’s overall source of guidance and inspiration for 2013.

Dean has hit the ground running and plans for TTJ 2013 are already underway.

If you wish to be a part of this years Texas Toast Jam, please contact Dean at: deand@odysseybmx.com

Warning: It’s gonna be awesome again!

Chase has been added to the Etnies team for 2013. Congrats dude! Good things to come I’m sure.

From Etnies Press Release:

Jan. 2, 2013 (Lake Forest, CA) – etnies is ringing in the new year by signing Chase Hawk, one of BMX’s most progressive riders, to its team. With his speed, smooth style and unrivaled ability to boost incredibly high, Chase Hawk is the rider to watch in 2013. Welcome to the etnies BMX team, Chase!

“Joining the etnies BMX family means a lot to me,” said Chase Hawk. “I’ve been psyched on the team ever since I was a little kid so to finally get the opportunity to work with everyone is going to be awesome. I plan on 2013 being a busy year with etnies producing a ‘welcome to the team’ edit, new product and starting to film for the next full-length etnies video. Thanks again to [team manager] Povah and etnies for giving me the chance to be a part of the team!”

John Povah, etnies BMX Team Manager said: “From a very young age Chase Hawk’s evident talents have set the bar high for creating milestones in BMX. He’s arguably a rider, if not the rider, that other riders wish to emulate and will routinely stop what they’re doing to watch ride. Chase now starts a new chapter in his life as part of the etnies BMX team. It’s overdue, so I’m really stoked that Chase wanted to ride for etnies. He brings a considerable amount to the table and can now be part of something special that he can truly feel proud of. I also think having Chase as part of the team will excite, energize and build on an already amazing team and brand. Welcome to the family Chase!”

The Ride BMX crew came by the office to film a “One Hot Product” segment on our Antigram hub. Check it out!

The Antigram & wheel hub is available now.

I was recently sent information about Autumn Pasquale passing away and was heartbroken. Autumn was allegedly killed for her BMX bike of all things. As we have said time and again, the love of riding is what has brought us all together, so Autumn is one of us, and will be missed even if we have never met her. There is nothing more to say except our thoughts go out to her family and friends, and hope they can cope with this unbelievable tragedy.

To learn more about Autumn’s story, you can visit ESPN, Philly.com and Gloucester County Times.
